New Ideas


It has been a few crazy weeks...so crazy that I don't even want to think about it.

But I will say that despite hard economic and employment stumbling blocks, I've started something new which has lead me to a new outline. Long story short, after working many jobs [mostly in college] I thought to myself, 'Hey, I never really worked at a bank before...I think I'll give it a shot.' With that said, I found a new job that will allow me to grow in a different industry and allow me more creative pitches for my freelance writing gig. And this is on top of my other writng projects. Here is a brief summary of my projects:

  • Project 1 deals with a high school class in a sick and twisted storyline of harassment, rape,. miscarriage, right and wrong. I have no idea where this concept came from, but I can't stop writing it.

  • Project 2 is a a story I'm considering turning into a series about a little girl and her friend being harrassed by older junior high kids. I started working on this idea my fall semester back in college, 2008. I've been so caught up in my studies, obviously, that I haven't really added more to the story like I know I could. Either way, it's still a work in progress.

  • Project 3 is my latest creation and it just has to be a love story right? Yes, I'll buy that; I have an inner romance nerd, so sue me. It's about a confusing relationship between a graduating 23-year-old college student and her 31-year-old professor.

Now Project 4? Right now, I'm leaning towards writing some personal finance articles towards the high school and college crowd. Should I turn that into a reading/workbook guide for tweens, teens, and young adult? I think that will be cool. Of course, I'm sure that there are other books with the same concept and goals I have for this book; to provide youth with basic money savvy skills and help them build a solid economic foundation. My challenge is who to market to and how to make it fun...

Again, just ideas in progress.

Top 10 Interesting Highlights of my Summer

10) One week before I went to NYC, my mother allowed me to hack away at our tree with a chain saw. The left over wood will be used for seating stumps and shelves we plan to build in our house. 9) I was stressed during the semester that I wouldn't get into any of the 30 internships that I applied for and I was blessed with two of them: Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for Web Productions and Honey Magazine for writing. Now, I will finish my degree in December!!!! 8) During my lunch hour, I walked 20 blocks around West Chelsea, and lost 15 lbs as a result...I like this :0). 7) I realized that the city is both expensive but awesome for bargains (bought the cutest bag for $10)! 6) Prince was in NYC at the Apollo at the beginning of June with song diva Mariah Carey...how did I miss this?????

Another Google Adventure

As I sit here listening to Jennifer Hudson's new album, I'm reflecting on the latest news stories that have been popping up for the last 24 hours via the internet and radio stations. This is what I came up with so far: Legendary Hollywood icon, Elizabeth Taylor, dead at age 79 Elizabeth Taylor's Final Resting Place Water poisonous for Tokyo infants Japan struck by another major earthquake Another Chris Brown thing Another Charlie Sheen thing Ohh, comparing Chris Brown and Charlie Sheen (Breezy brought up a good point, but I digress) Little girl loses leg saving her sister N----r Heaven...? What does baby mama mean? Now, because I choose not to tell you, the free-willed citizen who reads whatever your heart oh so desires, what to do, I'll let you pick out which one of these stories is more important to you. I'll just end this post with words from my sister's status... RIP Liz Taylor but there's still entire families dying in Libya right now... P.S., realizin

Redirecting the Dopeness

As [somewhat] normal human beings, we fight daily battles to preserve our lives as well as our minds. We fight to... maintain spiritual enrichment of the self (and family) express ourselves in a free yet firm form have time away from our quotas, goals, and missions for peace of mind manage the home along with the career  avoid late payments More can be added to this list, but you catch my drift, yes? Ok, moving forward... Mental trauma interjects itself into your plan, beautifully unscheduled. It can range anywhere from mild depression to extreme chaos on the job. Whatever is ensuing personally begins to take an effect on your performance professionally. How so? Let's take a trip back to basics. What is the perceived threat that's affecting how you work? Is it leaking into your office, food intake, and service to your customers or clients (WELCOA Letting Go of Stress). Is this stress tangible or invisible? Is it a temporary feeling of emotional discomfort or an exte
